MIDI parameters
This section discusses the BK-7m's MIDI parameters and
the associated memories called "MIDI Sets".
What's MIDI
"MIDI" stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Inter-
face." It is a universal standard that allows perfor-
mance data to be exchanged among electronic musi-
cal instruments and computers. The BK-7m provides
a MIDI IN and MIDI OUT socket so that performance
data can be received from other MIDI instruments. It
is also equipped with a COMPUTER port (USB) that
can receive and transmit MIDI data from a computer.
The MIDI parameters can be selected using [MENU]
button ‰ "MIDI".
The BK-7m's MIDI environment contains the follow-
ing options:

changes to a "User" memory for quick
recall. "Save MIDI Set" on p. 71.
NOTE
We recommend using the wizard to quickly set up the
BK-7m for new MIDI controllers you may want to use. See
"Wizard Connection" on p. 22.
Loading a MIDI Set
The BK-7m allows you to store and recall 8 different
MIDI configurations.

Loading a MIDI Set only changes the MIDI settings and has no
effect on the remaining parameters that are also affected by
the "Wizard Connection" function (see p. 87).
